Immortals Step into Heaven

Zheng Yuan and Xiuyun led their horses into Yunzhou City.

My two lords, I am Wang Er, and I need your guidance. I grew up in Yunzhou City, and there is no place in Yunzhou City that I don’t know, Wang Er said with a flattering look on his face.

Zheng Yuan was not familiar with Yunzhou City. It would be nice if someone familiar with the place could introduce the situation to him, Zheng Yuan thought.

Really? Then take us to a quiet inn first. I'll have something to ask you later. Zheng Yuan said calmly.

"Okay! Please follow me, my lords. I wonder if you would like to rent a guest room or a courtyard room?" Wang Er said tentatively, "A guest room is one tael of silver per month, and a courtyard room is ten taels of silver per month."

Why is there such a big price difference? Zheng Yuan looked at Wang Er and said slowly.

"Sir, the price I'm talking about is definitely the lowest in the city. It's absolutely fair, no deception. If you don't believe me, you can ask the guest rooms later. It's quite noisy with people coming and going. The courtyard is spacious, has a nice environment, and is quiet. That's why the price is a bit higher," Wang Er explained, looking at Zheng Yuan.

To Zheng Yuan, this money was nothing, but he didn't want to appear indifferent to money, which was why he asked this question.

Then find me a courtyard, Zheng Yuan said thoughtfully.

A moment later, Wang Er brought Zheng Yuan and Xiuyun to the door of an inn. Wang Er ran into the inn and talked to a man wearing waiter's clothes. Soon, Xiao Si and Wang Er came to Zheng Yuan together.

"Sir, please follow me," the waiter said politely.

Arriving at a courtyard, Zheng Yuan took a look inside. The environment was indeed quite nice. It had three rooms, a lawn, a large tree, and a stone table. Zheng Yuan was very pleased with the view and took out a ten-liang silver note and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter took the banknote and said with a smile, "Sir, your horse can be fostered at the inn. You can take it away when you need it." After getting Zheng Yuan's consent, the waiter left with the horse.

Zheng Yuan, Xiuyun, and Wang Er walked into the living room.

Zheng Yuan motioned Wang Er to sit down and asked, "Are you familiar with the Li family, a family of immortal cultivators?"

When Xiuyun heard Zheng Yuan's question, her face darkened!

The adults and the children know. This is Yunzhou City, a top family. I heard that there are dozens of immortal masters. But among the immortal cultivation families, I believe you also know how many are clean! Finally, Wang Er secretly glanced at Xiuyun.

Zheng Yuan watched the scene and sighed inwardly. Sure enough, a smooth-talking person like Wang Er must have seen something before saying such a thing!

Zheng Yuan nodded and said, when does the immortal cultivation sect recruit disciples?

My Lord, you've arrived at a good time. The ten-yearly recruitment for the Immortal Cultivation Sect will begin in two months. The location will be at the City Lord's Mansion Square. They will stay in the city for seven days.

If you want to test your spiritual roots, all the major immortal cultivation families in Yunzhou City have places where you can do so.

After hearing Wang Er's words, Zheng Yuan's heart was also filled with joy. Zheng Yuan had traveled thousands of miles and endured hardships along the way. Wasn't it just to find the immortal cultivators?

The current situation can be considered as what he wanted, but Zheng Yuan still looks calm on the surface.

Wang Er, do you know where in Yunzhou City there are places where immortal cultivators gather?

My Lord, I know of an underground market place frequented by immortal cultivators, but I've never been inside. I only know where the entrance is. If you'd like to go, I can lead the way.

Zheng Yuan took out a ten-liang silver note and handed it to Wang Er, saying, "Thank you for your hard work today. Tomorrow you can come and take me to the market, and you will also get a reward."

Wang Er took the banknote and said happily, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir! I will be there early tomorrow and wait for you at the courtyard gate. I will go back first."

After Wang Er left, he thought to himself, "This gentleman is truly generous. I must serve him well."

Zheng Yuan watched as Wang Er left.

Xiuyun, what are your plans next? Zheng Yuan asked.

"Xiuyun wants to go to the Li family, a family of immortal cultivators. Zheng Yuan, would you be willing to go with me?" Xiuyun asked nervously, as if she was afraid Zheng Yuan would refuse. She didn't know what the outcome would be if she went to the Li family alone, so she hoped someone would accompany her.

Zheng Yuan frowned after hearing this, thought for a moment, and then said,

Xiuyun, although your Yucheng Li family is a branch of the Yunzhou City Li family, you have not been in contact for many years.

What is the current situation of the Li family in Yunzhou City? You don't know. Will it be good or bad after you go there? It's hard to judge.

I think it would be better if you wait for two months and stay here first.

In two months, the Xiuxian Sect will be recruiting disciples. You can also go and give it a try. If you have the opportunity to become a disciple of the Xiuxian Sect, then whether you go or not, what does it have to do with the Li family?

After listening to Zheng Yuan, Xiuyun's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "Zheng Yuan, thank you for your advice. I think it's very good too."

Zheng Yuan, when are we going to test our spiritual roots? What if I don’t have any spiritual roots? Xiuyun said worriedly again.

As for testing the spiritual roots, I think it would be better to wait until the immortal cultivation sect arrives before testing them.

What if you are gifted and are looked down upon by others? Wouldn’t that be troublesome?

I don't want to be hunted again, Zheng Yuan said jokingly.

"Hmph! Zheng Yuan, how dare you say that? It's because of you that I've become like this. I used to be beautiful, but now I look so ugly in this outfit," Xiuyun said in fake anger.

"That can't be helped. You're so pretty. It's easy for people to notice you. I'm doing this for our safety. This is the last resort," Zheng Yuan said with a smile.

Tsk tsk, I think you are just a coward! And you say it so righteously, Xiuyun said mischievously.

What do you know? I'm saying it's better to be safe than sorry. Zheng Yuan said with a smile.

Xiao Hei also ran out at this time and started howling at Zheng Yuan, as if venting his dissatisfaction. I'm tired of keeping me in the wooden box all the time.

Seeing the two men surrounding him, Zheng Yuan immediately spoke up. "Because we've arrived at this new home, I've decided to have a big meal tonight. I'll go to the restaurant and order a table of delicious food to welcome us home."

Zheng Yuan, Xiao Hei, and Li Xiuyun arrived at the entrance of a restaurant called Manxianglou. "Xiuyun, what do you think of this restaurant?"

Xiuyun said with a smile, "Okay! Let's choose this one."

"Sir, please come in, there's room inside," a waiter ran out of the restaurant and said flatteringly.

Zheng Yuan, Xiao Hei, and Li Xiuyun followed the waiter to a private room.

Sir, here is the menu. What would you like to eat?

Zheng Yuan said without even looking at the menu, "Bring me all your best signature dishes and a jar of good wine."

After hearing this, the waiter smiled brightly and said, "Sir, please wait a moment! I will arrange it for you right away."

The food at Zheng Yuan's restaurant is delicious. Let's come again tomorrow, Xiuyun said happily on the way back to Luoyuan.
